~Legend's POV~
"So tell me why you are not excited about your father's birthday?" Gael, my best friend and Beta's son, said and I exhaled deeply.
"It is not that I am not excited about it. Heck, I am so happy that he is aging fast and I will become the Alpha King but my wolf has been feeling jittery which is making me look stressed than usual." I explained to him and pinched the bridge of my nose. But instead this fool took it as a joke and grinned like a dummy. I snickered at him in annoyance and almost rolled my eyes at him.I can't. As per my father's word, I am the Alpha Prince and I am supposed to act respectable in front of the entire werewolf world but I don't think that's how I behave according to the rumors going round in the palace. Yes, the rumors are about me but I don't give a fvck. I make the rules and call the shots.Okay, yeah, not yet but soon enough."Am I good?" I asked as I looked at myself in the large mirror before me. Gael looked at me with admiration and smiled.Dummy."You look so handsome and regal." He said with a flattering voice. I scoffed and hit him on the forehead."Ouch." He faked a wince."Shut up, you sound like a dummy." I said to him and picked my wristwatch and wore it. I had told the maids not to bother dressing me. Well, I don't like it anyways. I know if my father hears a word of it, he is going to make a fuss about it. Like being the Alpha Prince and all royal stuffs I don't care about.I dusted the tuxedo suit and cast a last look at myself. I winked at the mirror and I heard Gael stifle a laugh.What am I going to do with him?!Knock! Knock! Knock!"Who's there?" Gael said, more like yelling."Alpha Prince Legend, your presence is being requested by the Alpha King and Luna Queen." A tiny feminine voice said."On our way." Gael replied and she scurried off just like that."Are you ready?" I asked him and he gave me a pointed look."I should be the one asking you that question since you are the one who will be giving off the impression of the good Alpha Prince." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him."And I guess you will be giving off the impression of the bad Beta's son." I teased him. He glared at me playfully."You don't need to think about how my father reprimands me. I am a good and obedient guy." He said, adjusting his suit and I almost splash the water I was about to drink. He snorted and looked away. I dropped the cup and started for the door. He followed behind me and we exited the room.Then we saw my father's adviser, marching towards us with her heels clicking the floor."Oh, Legend. I was about to come and get you. It's time for us to make the appearance." She said with a warm smile. I nodded my head and walked alongside with her.We got to the passage and saw my parents standing so close to each other. My father was whispering some things into my mother's ear and she was giggling.Does love truly exist like theirs?What does it feel like being mates by the way?"Oh, son. You are here." My mother seemed to have seen me after her playful moment with my father. I almost rolled my eyes and walked towards them."Good day, father." I said with a slight bow while I planted a kiss on my mother's cheek. Gael muttered some greetings and my father waved him off. I looked around and saw Gael's father who had this stern or rather stoic and passive look on his face. I could say that he hardly laughs or even smiles. Not like I have seen one on him. And not to add, that he is trying to mould his son into the perfect son."Legend." My mother called out and I turned to look at her."Are you prepared? Don't make your father angry." She said, whispering the last part that made me smirk."Mother, I am not troublesome." I said with a faint pout and she chuckled. I am everything around my mother.My father held my mother by her hand while I walked behind them into the large throne room. Gael had been summoned by his father so he could not accompany me.Then suddenly, my wolf, Ryder purred. My eyebrows creased at the action."What happened, butterfly?" I asked and he seemed to come back to his senses."I told you to stop calling me that." He replied with an harsh tone. I scoffed."Why did you purr like a bitch?" I asked."She is around." Was all he said and he blocked me.Who?!Who is around?!I yelled in my head but he did not reply. Hope it is not what I am thinking. I looked around, taking in everyone's faces. But my heart already accelerated and I could not calm down. I need to walk out of here as soon as possible."Welcome, Alpha King." The voices of the guests brought me out of my thoughts. I am sure I must have missed out the introduction part. I let out a shaky breath and curled my fist into a ball. We all sat down;my father sat on his throne while my mother sat down just beside him but his was quite taller than hers while mine is just below them."Thank you all for honoring the invitation." My father said which is his own way of saying 'you had better thanked your stars that you attended or else you would have been removed from that mighty position that you are in'.I still felt jittery and my head was beginning to ache as people stepped out and started saying all kind of hypocritical kind words about my father. Some dropped gifts which I know that my father will definitely send to the orphanage in the city. He does not care about them at all. All he cared for is his respect. The guests may think this was just an ordinary birthday party but infact it is a party to show which Alpha still disagrees with him.Well, they stood no chance at all.I did not know I was beginning to sweat when my mother's voice came in my head. "Why are you sweating?" She asked and I almost jerk back."I don't know. Tell father, I need to get some fresh air. I feel suffocated here." I said and stood up. I looked at her out of the corner of my eyes, she nodded her head positively even though she still had that vibrant smile on her face. I slipped out from the midst of the people and came out in the deserted passage. I bumped into Gael."Guy, where are you off to?" He asked me as he looked at me from head to toe."I need fresh air." Was all I said before walking out.As I got outside, I tugged at my tie and loosened it a bit. I breathed in the air and my stiff muscles relaxed. Then I breathed out and breathed in again. This time another scent mixed with the air and found its way to my nostrils. Ryder connected back to me and stood at alert. My eyes went wide and my head got into frenzy mode. My legs moved on their own accord towards the garden, sniffing the scent and there she was. She was looking around as if this would be the last time, she would be here. She soon started walking towards me but then she bumped into me and looked up at me."Mate!" Was all I could mutter.She walked faster into the woods. Her heart hammering against her chest. She was scared. Scared that she will lose her mate. Scared that she will be be unable to have a taste of the bliss of a being Legend's mate. Of being anybody's first mate. Her hand subconsciously gripped the orb in her wrist. A ray of light flashed swiftly before her and she halted to a stop instantly.What was that? She thought.She was about to continue walking when she heard walking behind. Preparing the spell she would use on the attacker immediately, she was about to say it when a smile on Brian's face stopped before her. Her brows furrowed in confusion and shock as she looked at h for his head to toe."Hello," Brian greeted with a dimpled smile. She was still thinking about what happened to Legend and now, Brian was here, standing before her like he did not know anything was happening in the palace.Are they in any way related?"Brian, what are you doing here?" She asked, seizing him up. He shifted uncomfor
~Third Person's POV~Leticia looked at the stone glistening in her hand. She knew Legend was in a dangerous situation. She was beginning to shake in fear and anxiety was eating through her veins. What was happening to him? She thought as she paced to and fro. Leo stood gazing at her, taking in the way she was shaking. He folded his arms and walked towards her. She did not notice him as she bumped into him. She let out a sharp cry and jerked back in shock. Looking up, she saw Leo eyeing her with a deadly gaze then she swallowed lightly as nervousness reeked out of her."What happened to him?" He asked. He had already found out about Legend not rejecting her but she still refused to tell him more details but then he was bent on protecting his sister."I.. I... Erm... I feel like he is in some sort of trouble." She stuttered out as obvious worry crossed her face and his face softened a bit, his muscles relaxed a bit as he understood how she must be feeling. But what was happening to Le
~Third Person's POV~The moon was dim tonight as if trying to give a sign to the offenders that the day of their punishment already arrived. The shrews made their creaking sounds, making everywhere give off this eerie feeling. Strong and hidden guards stood outside the small apartment in preparation for the upcoming mission.His heart hammered against his chest as he paced to and fro with beads of sweat flowing down his forehead. In fact, his shirt was already soaked. He was finally caught. They finally caught him. How could that have been possible? He was careful about it, right? No wrong. How could they have found out about it so soon at that? To say he was even yet to accomplish his mission was another thing. He looked around for his phone but the motherfucking technology made item was no where to be found. Way to go. Good. Just good. All he could just do was expect the worse."Just come out in peace. Now!" Legend said calmly. He was in no mood to yell at all since he knew that th
~Legend's POV~I walked into my chambers with a throbbing head ache only to meet Ava sitting on my bed comfortably, dressed in a flimsy dress like the other day. More to add to my throbbing ache. I fought so hard not to scoff at her."Your highness." She said coyly and came towards me. I looked at her with fake acknowledgement. She looked scared, more like frightened. "Ava, there is nothing to be scared of. I will not let anything happen to you. And besides, Liam is here with you in the palace also. You can meet up with him and confide in him since I am always busy." I said all at a go. I don't want her sulking up to me like I am her prince in shining armor. Heck, I am not even close to it.She seemed to relax a bit. "Can I sleep here with you tonight?" She asked. What?! Why would she ask that?! No ways. "What if there is an attack, I can't protect myself with you here." I said, just have to give any stupid excuse. I sighed, gripped her shoulders tight and
~Third Person's POV~He jumped down from the window into the darkest part of the office. He winced hard as his foot made contact with the hard floor. Biting back the groan that was threatening to escaped, he tiptoed into the office, looking around consciously and making sure no one him or was even there to see him.He was here for some thing but one thing is that he did not know the thing was kept. He practically didn't know where it was. Moving towards the stack of papers that was on your shelf, he pulled them one by one and saw nothing. "Where did this dumbass keep it?" He whisper-mused in annoyance. Exhaling deeply, he looked around and could not fathom where the ring was hidden. The ring... It held the royal power. And he was in search for it.He cursed incoherently as he stood before a huge portrait he had never noticed was there despite having been in here for more hours than he can count. "Huh?" He thought as he looked at what was drawn on it. It was nothing unusu
~Third Person's POV~"Dominic, I am very sure Gael won't do some thing like that. Legend may be mistaken or may have mistaken him for the culprit. Gael will definitely not betray the werewolf kingdom. At least you know so well how I have brought him up. And I don't know why Legend did not consider that this same Gael was the person he grew up with, together. He does not even trust his own Beta." Ethan said as Dominic was busy playing with goldfish in the pond before him.Dominic exhaled deeply and turned to him because he knew his long time Beta won't drop the topic since this was concerning his son's integrity and also his lineage was in danger. "You and I both know we are like fire and ice. There is absolutely nothing I can say that will make Legend revoke his order on your son. He will never listen to any word as long as it comes from me. All I will say is that you should probably investigate this matter very well and dig up counter evidence to the ones he saw." Dominic s
~Ava's POV~What the hell just happened?Legend... He just warned me to be careful of what I say. He told me that I shouldn't even think of getting pregnant for him. Am I missing something here? Or is it my head? Maybe I am losing my mind.Just a few weeks in the palace and I am already going crazy. Can I really do this? Gosh, I must be really worn out to the extent that I am now doubting myself and why I am here."Luna Queen, your brother is here." A maid announced and my face lit up immediately in excitement. I stood up and Liam walked in. I went to meet him mid way and he pulled me into a hug and I relaxed in his embrace."What was what you sent in the letter all about?" He asked and I began to explain to him the content of the letters I have been receiving."Do you think it is the same person that sending Legend letters that is also sending these to me?" I asked with a scared face."No, I don't think so. I mean Legen
~Legend's POV~I just came back from my run. And I can say, I am quite relieved. "You are yet to get in contact with BOW." Ryder informed me and I shook my head at my forgetfulness. "I will give him a call now." I said and and he nodded his in agreement. I walked into my chambers and saw Ava sitting on my bed as she fidgeted with the tip of her dress. What is she always doing in my room?"Ava..." I called out and she looked up instantly. She stood up quickly and sprinted towards me. She looked at me with a worried gaze and something that look like fear. Why was she scared? My eyebrows creased in confusion. "How are you?" She asked as she checked me out, turning me around. I narrowed my eyes and pulled away from her gently. "I am fine." I replied, not wanting any body contact with her tonight."I was just worried about you since we hardly converse ever since we mated." She said and my face contorted into a frown."Concerning that... What do you mean by we mated?"
~Legend's POV~We walked into the palace, guards bowed as they led me to the dining hall where the rest of the royal family was waiting. Well, my father had informed me through the mind link that they were waiting for me there. We entered and saw how eager they were waiting for us. They must have been scared. My mother ran forward and started to check me out. I smiled slightly and pulled her by her shoulders. She looked at me in the eye with this worried look on her face. My heart broke at the sight but I pushed the pain aside."Mother, I am fine. It was just a minor attack. I am all good." I said with a reassuring smile, squeezing her shoulders slightly. She closed her eyes briefly and let out an exasperated breath before she stepper back.I looked at my father. "The Alpha has been banished by me already. But one thing is that I knew he is not the behind the attack." I said and they all nodded their heads."Did any letter arrive again?" I asked as I looked at them from
